The creepers and plants used to counterbalance the negative influences of astral positions are believed to grow under the direct influences of the Planets. Accordingly they have the power to fight against the harmful effects of the planets on human lives.

Ayurveda is intimately bound up with Astrology and with the planetary rulerships of herbs, gems and other natural items. The skillful use of the correct remedy, or determined by its planetary rulership, can neutralise the effects of malefic planets on our health and genral well-being.
